The Dell Studio XPS 8100 is a mid-range, all-purpose PC aimed at home users. It has a Core i5-650 processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 1TB of hard drive space and an NVIDIA GTS 240 graphics card as standard. Dell's site allows you to customise the system's...

This Dell PC has the grunt to handle everyday computing with ease
Reasonable price tag, impressive performance for general usage, 64-bit Windows 7 as standard
Choosing more powerful components quickly drives up the price, no monitor included in base bundle
The Dell Studio XPS 8100 is a well-priced, mid-range desktop PC for home usage. It doesn't have the strongest specifications -- you'll have to pay significantly to add extra performance through Dell's customisation options -- but it will handle almost...

The Dell Studio XPS 8100 is an affordable performance desktop aimed at people seeking an all-around capable system that doesn't necessarily need tinkering with. Priced at $1429 (as of February 1, 2010), it comes with a Core i5-750 processor, 8GB of...

Limited internal expansion options

Silver trim feels cheap ; Front: fingerprint magnet ; Loud under load

Easy to set up, looks good.
Be aware it does not come with built in wireless connection. You will need to purchase a seperate USB wireless adaptor. You would think for the price, and the fact that wireless internet connection is now the norm, that a built in wireless connection...
